Besides, attaching the file would have made your message self-contained. > lspci block for video card: http://paste2.org/KLNPJnvn > > I notice two things in my xorg.0.log: > > [254760.941] (II) fglrx(0): Using hsync ranges from config file > [254760.941] (II) fglrx(0): Using vrefresh ranges from config file I'd try with a minimal xorg.conf: Section "Device" Identifier "WhatEver" Driver "fglrx" EndSection or even *no* xorg.conf and the radeon driver.
